S-Boats in the
People's Navy (Volksmarine) 1956 - 1990
Light-Torpedo-S-Boat
"Iltis" (Projekt 63.300)
Since function-model
63.1 which had been built by Peenewerft, Wolgast, did not dive up and
could therefore not reach the required Speed of 50 kts, because it did not
come into the gliding phase, a new boat 63.2 with changed hull and
engines placed more forward was built starting 1961. Thus the required
speed of 50 kts was exceeded but the boat was instable. 1962
function-model 63.3 was built with slightly changed hull which as
well reached a speed of more than 50 kts and was not showing the
instability of model 63.2.
